I think I prefer longer games, go Magma Chamber! Maybe I just need to wait till some sort of strategy develops and its not just GOGOGOGOGO! I had pretty much the opposite experience. The games went for a little bit longer than i thought, but theres alot of stratergy to it. Which points to hold at which time, delaying caps etc. Also the completely new strategy behind character builds (because its quite different in Dominion) and also the different team compositions that play well. It may not have been as fast paced as they initially implied, but its much faster than 5v5. Still long enough to enjoy, and its fantastic having a game mode where you get such small margins between winner and loser. (Had one game where we were ~100 points down, came back with 11 points remaining) | ||

In the paraphrased words of a Riot employee, "if we tell you when off-peak is, it will quickly become peak". | ||

5 bases, when score reaches X game is over. You cap points by channeling, it's interrupted by dmg, lot of different scales of fighting happening, there's buffs to be found on the map. I mean really? :D Tho it looks like bruisers will reign supreme, you need to be able to 1v1 in so many places. | ||

Support, ranged AD, and (to an extent) ranged AP heroes fall short in this mode. 90% of melee AD heroes have a way to close the gap or can just pick up flash or ghost. And without a team to meat shield for them, squishy heroes die often and quickly. Anyone with high mobility is extremely useful to a team, as you can pick up Priscilla's Blessing (15% reduced capture time) and run around doing nothing but capping towers. Support (Taric, Soraka, Sona) Everyone recieves 20% healing reduction (this stacks additively with other healing reduction effects) while in Dominion. This makes Taric's, as well as Sona's, heal hit for about nothing. Soraka may be able to stack enough AP to counter it somewhat, but then you be so squishy someone could breath on you and you would die. Rammus and Xin are two heroes that stood out while I was playing Dominion. Rammus would ball/ghost top to capture the neutral point. They then rushed Priscilla's blessing, which also has a 30% move speed increase activation. The entire rest of the game, aside from a few instances toward the end, Rammus would be running around the map capturing undefended points. Xin, coupled with the passive 15% armor penetration you get from Dominion, wrecked everything. I seriously didn't see a single person do poorly as him. Pub teams are usually short on team work and it showed with how spread out everyone was. It doesn't take long for a Xin to catch people alone before he has a Sanguine Blade (60 AD, 15% lifesteal, Attacks grant 5 AD and 1% lifesteal, stacks 7 times.) and a Light Bringer (50% attack speed, 20 AD, Attacks grant vision of the target for 5 seconds). | ||

might be an idea to get executioners calling in dominion if you start seeing multiple gunblades. first impression was, this is just a playground for bruisers/assassins. I don't see any place for casters, supports or AD carries. You have to be able to 1v1 well, there's much less crap in the way while fighting (creeps), less walls and pathways to keep yourself safe or anything, so be a bruiser or assassin or go back to SR. | ||

Ofc no one really has solid tactics yet, but that really seemed too faceroll, melee bruisers didn't stand much chance vs all that regen. might be an idea to get executioners calling in dominion if you start seeing multiple gunblades. Ya, akali with mass spell vamp sooo strong. You deal rly good damage and you have crazy sustain, smth that's pretty hard for anyone else to get. | ||
